Evaluation of the Reliability of an Animal Detection System in a Test-Bed

This report contains a brief description of an animal detection system site along Hwy 3 (Ft. Jones Rd.) near Ft Jones, CA. In addition, this report summarizes the decision process for selecting an animal detection system, and it reports on reliability tests of the selected system.
